Chapter 0027 Discovery
Ruthland Village, 700 miles southeast of Valencia City, is also a small village close to the Avilli Mountains. There are only more than 30 families and less than 100 people, but now it has become a small military camp. A unit of more than 1,200 people is stationed outside the village. Earl Havas, as the military leader, established a command post in the village.
The arrival of the wizards was warmly welcomed by Count Havas, and a simple welcome banquet was held in the village's council hall. The simple low wooden table was filled with grilled stews sprinkled with fine spices, as well as stewed pork and potatoes, fine pepper sausages, freshly baked bacon pie and bread, and the silver basin smelled of creamy mushroom soup, with precious saffron and thyme in it, and the large wooden barrels at the table were sweet honey wine, sweet wine as sweet as water, or shochu like flames.
In short, various delicacies not only take care of the Knight Master who likes to eat Haisai, but also take care of the Mage Master who likes elegance and delicateness. Although the two groups of Knight and Mage are still in a distinct state, they rarely see any knight who can chat with the Mage. Although Li Xun also wanted to eat grilled steak with big mouthfuls and let the delicious gravy flow, after all, he could only imagine that he could only pick some bread, pie, mushroom and other vegetarian food on the plate like the mage around him, and occasionally drink some wine. This made the 17-year-old young man dressed up as a noble and elegant Mage Master and talked about it everywhere, which was really a torture. Fortunately, while people were not paying attention, Li Xun secretly hid a piece of grilled steak in a dimensional bag and prepared to go back to the room to enjoy it slowly.
Since he could not indulge in delicious food, Li Xun began to slowly look at the people in the hall. The high-level mage Jose, sitting in the middle of the hall, was whispering to Count Havas. The three and two mages were also discussing something. The knights were very enthusiastic, either fighting for wine or laughing loudly. The busy waiters were passing through the middle of the food, and the scene was very hot. Out of boredom, Li Xun suddenly turned on his soul vision, wanting to see what the high-level mage looked like in the soul vision. In the soul vision, Jose Ticu was dark green, and the Count Havas next to him was light green. He swept across the venue, the soul light was unobstructed, the color was different, and it could correspond to strength. Suddenly, the bright red in the knight camp came into his eyes, and Li Xun was shocked, red?
After using soul vision for so long, Li Xun has also found some rules. The strength of the soul light can be seen from the depth of the color, and the pattern of color changes is: if you are hostile to yourself, you will appear red; if you are kind to yourself, you will appear blue; if you are not related to yourself, you will appear. I just arrived here today, and there is no one in the knights, so why does a red that is hostile to you appear? Judging from the concentration of red, I should be an intermediate knight, and I accidentally offended people?
Surprised and doubtful, Li Xun looked at the knight indifferently. Since attending the banquet, the other party was not wearing full armor, but just light armor in soft cowhide. It can be seen that the middle-aged knight is very burly and sturdy, with a clenched iron fist badge on the cloak behind him. Judging from the attitude of the knights around him towards him, his status should be not low, but he has never seen this person before, why is he hostile to him?
While Li Xun was meditating, the banquet had been going on for 2 hours. Earl Havas clapped his hands gently, and the busy waiter in the hall immediately bowed and retreated, and closed the door. Earl Havas scanned everyone in the hall, raised the wine glass in his hand and whispered: "God bless Nowness!"
Everyone in the hall raised their glasses at the same time and replied: "God bless Nowes!"
After drinking the wine, the hall calmed down, Count Havas continued: "Thank you all the respected mages for fighting side by side with us! Your arrival has brought hope of victory to our soldiers. On behalf of the Feoran family, I welcome you!"
The knights applauded and bowed, bowed and bowed, while the mages stroked their foreheads and bowed to their salutes. The scene was very harmonious for a moment.
The wizard leader Jose Tiku smiled and added: "As a member of the Principality of Novis, when the Principality of Novis is attacked by evil, we wizards are willing to contribute our own strength and obey the command of the Count."
Earl Havas nodded with satisfaction and said, "The evil necromancer has brought great trouble to our warriors. It is difficult to remove the undead creatures rampant in the mountains and forests. We urgently need the support of all the mages. The mages have just arrived here and don't know the situation here yet. I'll give a brief introduction here."
"From the first attack 2 months ago to the present, more than 300 people have been killed. We have only snatched back more than 40 corpses, and everything else has fallen into the hands of the damn necromancers and become their slaves. Those necromancers attacked villages everywhere and made into undead creatures. The ones fighting with us every day are these active corpses. It is a disaster for our warriors to attack these active corpses that were once their own people!"
"Is there no information about the Necromancers? Where are they hiding? How many people are there? How strong are they?" a mage asked with a frown.
"The Necromancer initially judged that there are 7-9 people. One is suspected to be a high-level, and the others seem to be a low-level." Earl Havas hesitated for a moment, his tone was very weak.
"How to judge that there are high-level necromancers among them?"
"In order to expel these damn undeads, we sent 11 knights and 1,000 elite soldiers to fight with them in the jungle for many days, and wiped out some of their undead men, but they also lost 3 knights in a battle. The next time we fought, we found that they were refined into black warriors. The undead mage who could refine black warriors in such a short time should be a high-level one!"
Many mages nodded in agreement with this judgment. It seemed that there was indeed a high-level necromancer among the enemy.
"They are very cunning. When our gangs of soldiers search, they can't hide. Once they disperse, they will use high-level undead ambush. We attacked very passively, and the soldiers were depressed, so they had to withdraw here to rest. The Hans Knight had just led the team to repel the sneak attack of these undeads, so let him tell us the specific situation at that time!"
With the voice of Count Havas, the middle-aged knight who was suspected by Li Xun walked out of the crowd, bowed his chest and shouted: "After the order of the Count, I led 100 soldiers to carry out search missions in front of the large army, only 10 miles away from the large army. When camping at night to rest, I encountered an enemy sneak attack. The main force of the enemy was 17 vampires and 30 ghosts assisted. Our soldiers could not deal with these undeads at all. The team quickly fell into chaos. Knight Muke was captured by the vampire. I led people into the jungle and could not rescue him. I had to lead the soldiers to stand till dawn before retreating to the main camp. I did not see the undead mage in the whole battle."
Li Xun had a single eye and thought of a possibility. Has this Hans Knight had had direct contact with the undead, and would he have been controlled by the undead mage? Only in this way can he explain why his soul appears hostile red.
Is there any mind control in the undead spell? It also needs to be easily noticed by other mages. It seems that I will read the book "Book of Death" carefully later!
The most important thing in combat is how to find the enemy. Due to the existence of necromancers and high-level undeads, the scouts in the army went out to investigate were simply to send materials to the enemy. It seemed that they had to ask the mage to appear.
